Why was it proper for a court to leave someone in the position of guardian who was a harmful “choice” for the person being cared for?

Are you asking for my legal answer, or a answer based on morality?

I would think this was a question where the legal and the moral were so close as to be indistinguishable. After all, courts award guardianship, but leaving an unfit guardian in place is certainly an immoral act, not merely a legal mistake.

I think leaving a guy who has tried to let someone die of sepsis in charge of their medical care is immoral and illegal, but if you want to call it a legal question, feel free.
